In one 11 year stretch, Bresnahan had 10 of the 11 years with an OPS+ of 129 or better.

Not bad.

Iowa has been the AAA affiliate of the Chicago Cubs for 31 years.  They have been known as the Iowa Cubs for the last 30 years.  What was the team nickname in the first year?

Cubs legend Ernie Banks is famous for saying "It's a beautiful day for a ballgame.  Let's play two!"  But he wasn't in Chicago in 1950 when the Cubs set this "record of futility."
